1994 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"Nice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump $600 as they have to drop the engine to reach it.
Alternator $300 ditto.
Harmonic balancer $1000
Locks freeze up in the winter, can't open the doors in the morning (key or remote no difference)
Driver seat wears out on the left hand side from drivers back brushing it every time he/she gets in or out.
General comments?
This car truly makes everyone a better driver. Phenomenal handling on stock tire/rims, but after a set of 235/45/17 I no longer needed to slow down on ramps even in the rain. Very good stopping power, acceleration is very good, but another 50 bhp would be nice. Back seats are a joke and perform best when folded to increase the storage area. Sound system is not adequate and I had it replaced. Best looking small car out there. Had Ford put a 5L V8 in there they would never sell another Mustang.
